< Matthew 1 >
1 THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Vuvu u Yesu Kristi ivren Dauda, ivren u Ibrahim.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
Ibrahim a ngrji Ishaku, Ishaku ka ngrji Yakubu, u Yakubu a ngrji Yahuda ni ba mrli vayi ma.
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
Yahuda a ngrji Perez mba Zerah ngrji u Tamar, Perez ngrji Hezron, u Hezron ngrji Ram.
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
Ram ngrji Amminadah, Amminadah ngrji Nahshon, u Nahshon ngrji Salmon.
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Salmon ngrji Boaz ngrji Rahab, Baoz ngrji Obadiya ngrji u Rautha, Obadiya ngrji Jesse.
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
U Jesse ngrji ichu Dauda. Ichu Dauda ngrji Suleman wa iyima ana wa Uraya
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
Suleman a nu ngrji Rehoboam, Rehoboam a ngrji Abijah u Abijah ngrji Asa.
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
Asa ngrji Jehoshafat, Jehoshafat ngrji Joram, Joram ngrji Uzziya.
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
Uzziya ngrji Jotham, Jotham ngrji Ahaz u Ahaz ngrji Hezekaya.
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
Hazekaya a ngrji Manaseh, Manaseh a ngrji Amon u Amon ngrji Yosiya.
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Yosiya ngrji Yekoniya ni mrli vayi ma wiere me ni nton wa ba vu ba hi ni Babila.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
U wa ba nji ye Babila, Yekoniya ngrji Shealtiel u Shealtiel ngrji Yerubabel.
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Yerubabel ngrji Abuid, Abuid ngrji Eliakim, u Eliakim ngrji Azor.
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Azor ngrji Zadok, Zadok ngrji Achim u Achim ngrji Eliud.
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Eliud ngrji Eleazer, Eleazer
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
ngrji Matthan, u Matthan ngrji Yakubu. U Yakubu ngrji Yusufu illon Maryamu wa a ngrji Yesu wa ba yo'u din Kristi.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
To inzan ba wawu rji ni Ibrahim hi Dauda ba wlon don zia, rji ni Dauda hi ntton wa ba vu hi ni Babila bahi izan zia, u rji ni ni ntton u wa bahe ni Babila hi ni ye Kristi ba nzan wlon don zia.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Ingrji Yesu Kristi ahe towa: wa ba nna yima Maryamu ni Yusufu gben ntton wa baka gran kpa, u nne Ruhu tsatsar ye riwu.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
U Yusufu illon ma indi u klu Rji, nda na son nno shan na, a cu sron ma rju ni gran nda kama ni wu niyay'bi (aboye)
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Amma, asi tamre towa, u malaika Baci ka ye niwu ni rah nda tre, “Yusufu, ivren Dauda, na klu sisri ban wame Maryamu na, don ikpie a wrji anne ma, a u Ruhu tsatsar.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Ani ngrji vrenlon wa u yowu ndi Yesu, don ani kpa ndi ma cuwo ni gbugbu latre mba.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
To, ahe to yi don ndu tre Baci he na wa a hla din.
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“To mba, vivren wa ri wa ana to lillona ani ye he nne nda ngrji vrenlon wa ba yo wa ndi Imanuwal” wa hi riri ni “Irji he nita”
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
U Yusufu, gbla sh'me ni nah tie ikpie wa Malaika hla niwu nda hi ka ban wa-a hi ni kpama.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Ana rlihe toh wa-a sai wa a ngrji vren ma u mumla. Ayo nde ma di Yesu.
